Our Take

Fela Kuti's "Open & Close" is a mesmerizing journey into the heart of Afrobeat. From the moment the first brass notes kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The grooves are infectious, the rhythms are intoxicating, and Fela's unmistakable voice guides you through it all with a swagger that few can match.

Tracks like the title song "Open & Close" and "Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo" showcase Fela at his best, blending traditional African music with funk, jazz, and highlife influences to create a sound that is uniquely his own. The band is tight, the horn section is on fire, and every single note feels like it was meant to be there.

But it's not all just about the music. Fela's lyrics are as powerful as ever, tackling political and social issues with wit and charm. Whether he's calling out corrupt politicians or singing about the beauty of African women, Fela's message is always clear: dance, resist, and above all, celebrate life.

In a world filled with disposable pop music, Fela Kuti's "Open & Close" is a breath of fresh air. It's funky, it's soulful, and it's guaranteed to get you moving. So put on your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let Fela take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Because when it comes to Afrobeat, nobody does it better than the king himself.
